What awaits Kim across the table

The news that the Kim-Trump summit may be on the rocks illustrates the lunacy of Washington’s foreign policy.

Donald Trump first wallows in sycophancy, calling Kim Jong-un an honourable and very nice man, then allows Mike Pence and John Bolton to threaten the North Korean leader with a fate like Gaddafi’s in Libya.

The US president sees himself as a potential world star and Nobel peace prize winner. But the wily North Koreans know they are dealing with a diplomatic dotard.
